Fair use rationale for Image:Subaru logo.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Subaru logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Fuji Rabbit
[edit]Fuji Rabbit scooters should be mentioned somewhere in the article. They are FHI's first road vehicles. Also with no mention of them the motorcycle navigational box at the bottom makes no sense. Could someone please add a link. Chris Ssk talk 23:19, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
FHI was not 20% owned by Nissan between 1968 until 1999?
[edit]"From 1968 until 1999, FHI was 20% owned by Nissan, which acquired the stake in 1968 during a period of government-ordered merging of Japanese auto industry firms in order to improve competitiveness against foreign companies under the administration of Prime Minister Eisaku Satō. During their ownership, Nissan was primarily interested in its bus manufacturing division and lent automaking expertise to Subaru. "
According to the L.A. Times of June 29, 1990: Nissan Motor was FHI's largest shareholder, owning only 4.2%. Furthermore, according to this report from Reuters of 1999, Nissan would sell its 4.06% holdings in FHI to General Motor.
I can't find any documentary evidence to support that Nissan owned 20% of FHI between 1968 to 1999 except this article of Nov 2009 which could be erroneous (written using information from Wiki???). The two companies announced a business co-operation agreement in October 1968 without further details. The business co-operation relationship is also documented here. I am highly doubtful of the correctness of Nissan held 20% of FHI between 1968 to 1999.---Now wiki (talk) 01:13, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
Merger proposal
[edit]Now that Fuji Heavy Industries is now the Subaru Corporation, these articles should be merged (Regushee (talk) 18:42, 10 April 2017 (UTC))
- Opposed - I think that the combined articles would be just too long and both stand well on their own. - Ahunt (talk) 20:47, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose - Subaru is about the automobile manufacturing division, while this article is about the parent conglomerate. This is typical for other companies and parents that share names, such as Porsche AG and Porsche SE (albeit with VW Group between them), Volkswagen and Volkswagen Group, Mitsubishi Motors and Mitsubishi, etc. Also, the combined article would be far too large and confusing. - BilCat (talk) 21:51, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per above--John123521 (Talk-Contib.) RA 02:26, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per above. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 02:30, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
Merge proposal
[edit]@Mechanical Keyboarder: Your efforts to merge both articles are appreciated. However, the one-sided merge didn't align with WP:MERGE. In case there've been updates during the last 3 years since the proposal that might alter consensus, you can notify previous voters and freshen the proposal, or even better file a new proposal with your own wordings and rationale. Assem Khidhr (talk) 02:22, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Mechanical Keyboarder: The attempted merger was strictly against the previous consensus, and extremely ill-advised. Given that it's been almost 4 years since the previous merge proposal failed, a new merge discussion definitely needs to be held first. However, I don't see the result changing this time.
